1.) get Amarok and KDE3
2.) make sure xinelib is jack-aware. There is a plugin for xinelib
called xine-jack yet I did not test that on Ubuntu, I build xinelib
myself with jack-support...
3.) Amarok works with the IPod (and many other player-gadgets too) if it
is set to use the xine-backend it will play via jack if jack is active.
Maybe you need to open xine before and choose the Jack as the
audio-output before - you only need to do the latter once.
Works just great for me ;-)
For everyday-audio I use alsaplayer that supports jack as well and
starts playing before its GUI is up -- very fast that is ;-)

The Ardour workflow is modular, its initial setup is with no plug ins
at all. If you really want plugins to be involved from the start:
1.) make a new project without recording or importing anything
2.) add 2-3 tracks as buses and insert plugins to your liking in them.
3.) store it as a template
You can then insert sends in your tracks that transport signals to the
FX-buses or make a right-klick on one of the plugins in the mixer-strip
and copy/paste them in individual tracks.
good luck :-)
